This week we welcome Amir Rachum as our PyDev of the Week. Amir is the author / maintainer of pydocstyle and yieldfrom. Amir also write a fun little blog about Python. Let’s take a few moments to get to know Amir better!

Four. Hundred. Million. Users. Per. Day. Not only has Instagram scaled to become the biggest Python user in the world, but the company recently moved over to Python 3 with zero user experience interruption. Instagram engineers Hui Ding and Lisa Guo talked with The New Stack to share the Python love and describe the Python 3 migration experience.

I chose to perform Natural Language Processing (NLP) on Twitter data in order to assist in advertising campaigns. This project is geared more towards advertisers, marketing, and any company who wants to extend their customer relations platform to communicate with their followers.

So, you’ve built a great Python web application using Flask, Django, aiohttp, or Falcon. The next issue you could be facing is probably the setup regarding the deployment. We will explore how to use docker-compose to deploy a WSGI application using uWSGI and NGINX.

Today I found an online tool that can get the stats of the published articles from Google Analytics. That’s how I got interested in Google Analytics API. As I am studying Data Science at the moment, knowing how to do web analytics would open up a lot of new possibilities.

Introducing Epithet, a Python-based command line tool for managing labels across an organization. You give it a Github key, organization, and label name, and it will make sure that label exists across all the repos in your org. Give it a color, and it’ll make the color of that label consistent across all repos as well. Have you decided you’re done with a particular label? Epithet can delete it from all your repos for you. Are you using Github Enterprise? Epithet supports that too.

If you’d like to build a miniature self-driving car, perhaps you would first turn to an Arduino for control or even a Raspberry Pi for more advanced processing. Otavio Good is no exception, but after attaching a few Arduinos to an RC car, he moved on to driving it with a speedometer and camera via a TensorFlow neural network running on a Macbook Pro?—?yes, it has an actual notebook computer embedded in the 1/10th-scale model car.

Go(golang) is a very fast and efficient compiled programming language. Much like how you can build Python C-extensions to speed up your python applications, Python developers also have the option to build Go components that are embedded into their python.
